You should try craigslist to meet up with people or even Fred Miranda to find some deals. Like some have said before, you will definitely outgrow it fast. You can find used ones for pretty cheap and you don't really have to worry about the actuations on the shutter, they are rated for at least 100k-150k for the consumer-level cameras. The only thing it will really hurt would just be resale value. Though, you should try to find one that has been sent in to Canon more recently for cleaning or something if you get one with a lot of shutter clicks.

Of course, it all depends on your budget though. I live on FM (Fred Miranda) and Craigslist and it should be relatively easy to find a Rebel XSi with the kit lens between 400-450 USD.
